Merry Christmas 2018

It has been a hell of a year. We lost our property, I lost my job, we filed for bankruptcy and I fell in to a funk where frankly I didn’t know what to do next. My daughter helped me snap out of it and we made a few changes. I started drawing my pension and we moved to Wetaskiwin for a bundle of reasons, a desire to simplify being chief among them.

Life has much improved since then.

In between Crystal and Martin married and that was a memorable event, full of warmth and sweetness, a reflection of their true hearts.

Here in Wetaskiwin Art and I were quickly welcomed. I enjoy my Toastmasters and Art hangs out with the Tim Hortons crowd. I have a part time job at the United Church and I have met so many fine and generous people.

I reconnected with Jane and Noreen and what fine memories we share.

It has been helpful to be so much closer to Dawn and dad allowing me to be a help as they face the next level of care.

My best wishes to you all and may the coming year be full of moments of charm and wonder.
